You're watching Newsround, live this Thursday with me, Ayshah, | 0:00:02 | 0:00:05 | |
with all of this on the way. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:07 | |
The space launch looking into exploding stars. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:10 | |
And what to get twin panda babies for their birthday? | 0:00:10 | 0:00:16 | |
But first we're talking about the future of our planet | 0:00:24 | 0:00:26 | |
and what you guys think we should be doing to improve it. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:29 | |
Right now countries around the world are involved in a big meeting | 0:00:29 | 0:00:30 | |
about how to stop climate change. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:33 | |
So I went to a school in Bristol to get your ideas. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:39 | |
Climate change is important to me because the world needs to be | 0:00:39 | 0:00:42 | |
a greener place for everyone to live in. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:45 | |
Because I like fluffy animals and if the water is rising and it is | 0:00:45 | 0:00:52 | |
getting warmer, it may melt all of the cold animals' habitats. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
I think it's important because if we don't act fast, | 0:00:55 | 0:01:01 | |
then our world will get really hot and we don't want that to happen. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:06 | |
We are here in Bristol because it has been named as | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
the European Green capital in 2015. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
And the kids in the city get special lessons on about the environment. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:15 | |
So what are they doing to help? | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
At school, we have the green committee and they | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
go round every classroom and recycle all the paper, cardboard, plastic. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:28 | |
We do monitoring, where every turn off the lights to make sure | 0:01:28 | 0:01:35 | |
that it doesn't get too hot. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:42 | |
At home, sometimes I remind my parents to | 0:01:42 | 0:01:44 | |
recycle stuff, last month I asked my mum if I could keep my Fanta bottle | 0:01:44 | 0:01:48 | |
to make a rocket ship out of it. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:50 | |
There is a big meeting in Paris at the moment but what would these | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
guys do if they were in charge? | 0:01:53 | 0:01:55 | |
I would say, try and reduce the amount of fossil | 0:01:55 | 0:01:57 | |
fuels we use in cars and vehicles. | 0:01:57 | 0:01:59 | |
What would you say to the leaders in charge? | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
I would say, if one species of animal got endangered, | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
there is nothing we could do about it, so act fast, David Cameron. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:07 | |
All we need you to do is to help recycle and save the world. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
My message would be to them to clean our oceans. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:13 | |
Why? | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
Because there's lots of pollution going in it. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:19 | |
I would say to David Cameron, if you listen to a child's opinion, | 0:02:19 | 0:02:23 | |
it could change the world. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:27 | |
There's more on the Newsround web site about | 0:02:28 | 0:02:30 | |
climate change and what's being talked about at the conference. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:35 | |
OK, let's talk about whether Britain should be sending planes to bomb | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
parts of Syria now. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:40 | |
Last night UK politicians had a big debate and vote on | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
whether drop bombs on some areas as part of a plan to tackle | 0:02:42 | 0:02:46 | |
so called Islamic State, the group responsible for carrying | 0:02:46 | 0:02:50 | |
out attacks on Paris last month. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
Well, more MPs voted yes than no so this morning | 0:02:52 | 0:02:55 | |
the first planes set off for Syria. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:57 | |
The BBC's Jonathan Beale saw them leave. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:03 | |
The first pair of RAF Tornadoes to leave after MPs authorised military | 0:03:04 | 0:03:09 | |
action in Syria against Islamic State have just returned. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:14 | |
They left with, each, three Paveway bombs and they have | 0:03:14 | 0:03:16 | |
come back with some of those weapons at least clearly having been fired. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:21 | |
This is effectively the first time that RAF planes have | 0:03:21 | 0:03:25 | |
carried out air strikes over Syria, we are expecting confirmation later | 0:03:25 | 0:03:30 | |
in the day of where they were, what they hit and what | 0:03:30 | 0:03:33 | |
the impact of those strikes was. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:38 | |
And there's much more about the background to all this | 0:03:38 | 0:03:41 | |
on the Newsround website including what Islamic State is and the events | 0:03:41 | 0:03:43 | |
in Paris that led to this vote. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:48 | |
Now, a space probe has been launched this morning to find out more | 0:03:48 | 0:03:51 | |
about gravity, including what happens when a star explodes. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:55 | |
The Lisa Pathfinder mission will carry out some big experiments | 0:03:55 | 0:03:56 | |
Martin's got more. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:01 | |
After months of preparations and intense training, a 30 metre tall | 0:04:01 | 0:04:05 | |
rocket took off from South America. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:07 | |
It will travel 1.5 million kilometres from Earth. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
Once it reaches its orbit, it will release a satellite called | 0:04:10 | 0:04:14 | |
the Lisa Pathfinder. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:19 | |
There is no one on board so it will be controlled | 0:04:19 | 0:04:22 | |
around the clock by experienced teams at the European Space Agency. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:27 | |
Once it's in position, it will do loads of experiments. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:30 | |
It will use lots of new high-tech equipment to try | 0:04:30 | 0:04:32 | |
and measure something called gravitational waves. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:35 | |
These are ripples in space-time, the very fabric of the universe. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:38 | |
They are caused by massive events in space like when two black holes | 0:04:38 | 0:04:44 | |
collide and merge. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:45 | |
A black hole is thought to be a dying star that collapsed inwards | 0:04:45 | 0:04:51 | |
from its own weight. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:52 | |
Its pull of gravity becomes so strong that even light can't escape, | 0:04:52 | 0:04:55 | |
which is why it looks black. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:57 | |
British scientist Harry Ward has helped develop some of | 0:04:57 | 0:04:59 | |
the equipment that has been used. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:05 | |
We have got two things that are floating freely in space | 0:05:05 | 0:05:07 | |
and we're trying to measure the distance between them. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:09 | |
And the way we make those measurements is to shine laser beams | 0:05:09 | 0:05:12 | |
backwards and forwards, and the laser beams act as a kind of ruler. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:15 | |
All the things that direct the laser beams have to be incredibly well | 0:05:15 | 0:05:18 | |
lined up and incredibly stable and that's what this device here does. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:21 | |
It's a very special material that hardly changes at all | 0:05:21 | 0:05:24 | |
when the temperature changes. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:25 | |
Strong enough that it can survive the rather extreme | 0:05:25 | 0:05:27 | |
journey it's about to undertake. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:30 | |
The experiments will help scientists learn more | 0:05:30 | 0:05:31 | |
about how the universe works. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:35 | |
Last up, how do you say happy birthday to a panda? | 0:05:35 | 0:05:38 | |
With a pink cake of course. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:39 | |
These twin pandas are celebrating their first birthday at a zoo in | 0:05:39 | 0:05:42 | |
Japan and were given the sweet treat which is made entirely out of ice. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:50 | |
That's all from me, Newsround's back at 4.20pm with Ricky. See you soon! | 0:05:50 | 0:05:53 |
